Radiculopathy

What is Radiculopathy?

Radiculopathy is a painful condition felt in the upper or lower extremities due to compression of the spinal nerves. When the nerves in the spine are tightened, or squished, they become inflamed and irritated, causing shooting pain down the legs or arms.

Causes and Symptoms of Radiculoptathy

Main causes for radiculopathy include:

Disc herniation

Bone spurs

Osteoarthritis

Pinched nerves

Spinal stenosis

The symptoms of radiculopathy can severely alter your quality of life. Symptoms of pain down the legs or arms, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the extremities are very common.
